Calling task in another xml file from main build file

Hi

I have multiple tasks and I like to move a few tasks into another xml file.
What's the syntax to call another task in another xml file from the original
buildfile ?
Eg:


<ant antfile="task_file.xml">

<!-- how do I make a task call ? -->

</ant>



task_file.xml

<project>

<target name="test_hi">

<echo message="hi" />

</target>

</project>



Any example similar to this is appreciated also.

Thanks

<ant file = "whatever.xml" target = "the_target" />

Hi,

I have used the following code to access build.xml file present in sample_1
folder from sample_2 folder.

<target name="Another.Build.File">
<ant antfile="../sample_1/build.xml" target="myBuild" inheritall="false" />
</target>

Call to another build.xml file is made successfully, but the task in that
build file fails with error stating

myBuild:
    [mxmlc] Loading configuration file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder
3\sdks\3.0.0\frameworks\flex-config.xml
    [mxmlc] Error: unable to open 'src/DiscoveredObjects.mxml'
    [mxmlc]
    [mxmlc] Use 'mxmlc -help' for information about using the command line.
      [ant] Exiting C:\myProject\sample\build.xml.

Regards,
Sunils
